The Love Bug

This incredibly successful Disney film was the biggest grossing movie the year of its release (1969), and it introduced Herbie, the thinking Volkswagen, the only car with its prints at Grauman's Chinese. What this autopopathism means in terms of American culture is a subject I neither understand nor wish to. With Dean Jones, Michele Lee, Buddy Hackett, and David Tomlinson; directed by Disney workhorse Robert Stevenson. 107 min.
